Kuala Krai (GPS: 5.53081, 102.20185) is the name of the town as well as the Jajahan Kuala Krai in Kelantan. This predominantly agricultural town was established as a result of the construction of the Tumpat-Gemas Railway line in the 1920's. There has been a settlement here since the early part of the 20th century, and a hospital opened here in 1917.

The town of Kuala Krai has a population of around 22,000 people. It can be reached from Kota Bharu by Federal Route 8, the road that continues south to Kuala Lumpur.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
